why would leeds release a song in time for a liverpool v nal cup final?
it was in 72 when leeds beat nal

Is this really a true story McF... we (Leeds Rugby Ltd) now own the copyright?

I vaguely remember hearing that, I think it was played in a school assembly.

Apart from the terrible cod West Indian accent, was there any other racist element to it?

I thought it was a take off of the songs they did on That Was The Week That Was in the 60's?

Cant be long till you start singing WACCOE too!

And so we should seeing as though WE ARE the champions of Europe.

ok sorry clever clogs it was the 1971-72 fa cup final and was re released when united got promoted but that does not matter one bit. It could have 1921 Fa cup final (Spurs v Wolves if ur gunna get pedantic) the point is that its a football song not a rugby song.

Never sing this song anyway it makes me feel like im at Bellend road, and i dont like leeds united one bit!!

I agree totally.

Ah Lance Percival - whatever happened to...?

See also Mike Harding's "Fallout Calypso".

Something about Albert Johansson being from Timbuktu? Seems to ring a bell.

Me too

"Albert Johanson is one of the few. I don't know where he comes from, but I think it's Timbuctoo."

Knowledge.

Aahh, Millicent Martin....
That was the time that was.

[size=50I don't know, it sounds good though, just stick to the script and they'll believe you if you say it enough times[/size

Thats about the sum of it although you have to also emphasis the "fuzzy-wuzzy" accent on "Tim-buc-toooo".

Such a shame that no-one really cared where he went afterwards either.

such a sad story that is

and the southstand was occupied by both sets of fans

That was along time ago now, when the opposition fans took a chunk of the Southstand. I remember turning round and waving at Hull KR fans when Steve 'Slippery' Morris had scored a lastm inute winner for us.

When it stop being the norm? I suppose when our crowds went up to around the 10000 mark on a regular basis.

probably when Hull FC fans invaded the South Stand on a Saturday night game IIRC

it kind if unnerves me when all of your fans are belting it out at headingly...

I think I just vomited a bit in my mouth. It's bad enough you stole MOT.

Irony is some of the Leeds UTD fanbase in places like Cas and Wakey get rather annoyed when hearing this sung eg/last years Grand Final. We have nicked their song according to them.

I generally remember that it was only really the Hull clubs that occupied the Southstand on-mass, whatever the weather, with other clubs fans generally only coming in if it was raining or looked like rain.

I seem to remember we stopped people accessing the South Stand from the western terrace (they could still walk the long way round the North Stand though then if they really wanted) when crowds started to head up, even before they made it a separate ticket area altogether, and that is when we started having no away fans in the Southstand I think.

[size=50Ok, I am with the programme now![/size

Did you know we own the rights to the song anyway... true story!

I remember Hull taking over the centre of the Southstand once. Not provocative at all that. They got there first and paid their extra 5p. Thankfully it was a good while before kick off and the police and stewards managed to get them out of there.

If Leeds fans had tried doing that in the Thruppeny Stand at the Boulevard there'd have been a riot.
